Set of 9, Scott 83-83H, MNH

The six values of the set which show the front side of coins with the king's likeness exist with differing sets of letters comprising someone's initials, at the lower left of the king's chin. The price below is for a full set of 9 with our choice of initials, depending upon availability. To order specific varieties, see the Errors and Varieties pages.

Twelve values were actually prepared, but three values overpinted later (15ch, 33ch for which there was no longer a postal rate, and a 75ch value that was also surcharged to 9Nu) were not released until 1968. (Scott 98-98B.) The overprints honored the UN Human Rights Year. The three values released in 1968 exist with the overprint missing. Those three errors are not to be mistaken as part of this set of 9. For illustrations and prices of the overprint omitted errors, see the Errors and Varieties pages.
